Attached are the Minutes and Treasurer's Report from the June 26 meeting, plus the new ward by-laws (as corrected). Thanks to Ruth Dain for taking minutes while our Secretary, David Albright, is doing essential work for the Democratic campaign in Pennsylvania. Thanks also to Marcy and Howard Johnson for hosting in June, and to Catherine and Andrew Willinger for hosting in September.

Also attached, because pride is a deadly sin forgiven of new parents, are a couple of photos of Ward 2's newest little Democrat: our daughter Amelia, born August 15 at Newton-Wellesley Hospital. She's doing great and Neysha and I are thrilled.
